Hey, HN'ers,

I noticed that there didn't seem to be many internship opportunities in the August edition of the "Who's Hiring?" thread, so I decided to take it upon myself to right this clear injustice.

Please include:

* Company

* Location

* Are you willing to relocate potential interns?

* What does your company do?

* What technologies are involved?

* Length of internship

* Paid/Unpaid

If you're looking for a passionate C/Unix/systems programming intern, feel free to contact me directly. (Email is in my profile.)

Kiva, in San Francisco, has unpaid internships available for both tech and non-tech positions. They typically last 3-6 months, and it's a whole lot of fun if you are in a situation in life where you can get by without pay while building some skills and hanging out with some really neat people. Perks include regular servings of real Coke, donut holes, movie & game nights, free coffe and booze, and getting to help entrepreneurs from around the world. http://www.kiva.org/volunteer

My start up, Incident Tech, is always looking for new interns especially those versed in any kind of C language. We are still running mostly stealth but on a top level are developing a new kind of music entertainment experience oriented an consumer electronics device you dock your iPhone into which then connects you to our online platform. Our tech stack is nearly all of the C's (C/++/#/objective) and on the web side of things we're running a pretty standard LAMP stack.

Our internships have both salary and equity components. We're located in Santa Clara for now, likely to move up farther north in the next few months. Willing to talk about relocation. The length of the internship is flexible but typically it's 3-6 months.

We're Mixpanel, Inc. and we're located in San Francisco, CA.

We do real-time analytics for tons of companies like EA, Quora, Hunch, Slide, Inc., etc.

We write Python, C, and Javascript--we wrote our own datastore from scratch. We have 218 servers right now. The internship would be 2-3 months (standard).

Definitely paid.

We're OpenX, located in Pasadena, CA.

We're willing to relocate, and the internship length is flexible. The internships are paid.

We wrote an ad server and have our own ad exchange. We also wrote our own time-series datastore (Erlang and C). Most of our code is Erlang, Java, and C. We're using Cassandra, Riak, CouchDB, Hadoop, and others.

We have datacenters in the US (east/west), EU, and Japan. We handle billions of requests a day, and get a couple hundred milliseconds on each one to determine which ad is the best one to serve. A typical request will hit eight backends in that time period. If that sounds fun, you can reach me at joel at openx . com.
